The character encoding of the HTML document was not declared
When I click on my form's submit button the following error message appears:
"The character encoding of the HTML document was not declared. The document will render with garbled text in some browser configurations if the document contains characters from outside the US-ASCII range. The character encoding of the page must to be declared in the document or in the transfer protocol."
insert.html:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>insert page</title></head>
<body>
<h1> Insert Page </h1>
<form action="insert.php" method="post" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" >
<p>Title:<input type="text" name="title" size="40"/></p>
<p>Price:<input type= "text" name="price" size="40" /></p>
<p><input type="submit" value="Insert" />
<input type="reset" value="Reset" /></p>
</form>
</body>
</html>
insert.php:
<?php
$title = $_POST["title"];
$price = $_POST["price"];
echo $title;
?>

Answer
Add this as a first line in the HEAD section of your HTML template
<meta content="text/html;charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type">
<meta content="utf-8" http-equiv="encoding">
